As part of IOM’s Voluntary Humanitarian Return Assistance Programme, this support is made possible thanks to the Migrant Protection, Return and Reintegration Programme for Sub-Saharan Africa (MPRR-SSA) funded by the European Union. In 2023 alone, IOM supported the safe return of 629 Ghanaians (555 men, 58 women and 16 children) via four charter flights from Libya. We are proud to have supported 5143 Ghanaians (4449 men, 715 women) who have voluntarily returned under the programme since 2017,” said IOM Ghana Chief of Mission, Ms. Fatou Diallo Ndiaye. The migrants were excited to be greeted by Kofi Kinaata, who took the opportunity to reaffirm his commitment as IOM Ghana Goodwill Ambassador. IOM Libya provided the individuals with necessary treatment prior to departure and medical escorts onboard the flight, as well as medication.
